Chapter 36 Leaving the Mountain

The fire-calling talisman flashed a red light.

Wow!

Ten fireballs were suspended in the air, and the scorching temperature made the surroundings dry.

The fireballs were the size of fists before, but now they are the size of two fists, and they are even more powerful.

Xu Xuan removed the spell and filled the talisman with true qi.

He returned to the pavilion, sat cross-legged, absorbed the spirit stones outside the body, and nurtured the true qi in the body.

A warm current slowly grew in the body.

To nourish the qi is to nourish the true qi in the dantian.

When the true qi reaches a certain level, the true qi rushes to the top to open the Ren and Du meridians and circulates around the body.

This realm is called the Qi training period, with an upper limit of three hundred years of life.

Xu Xuan is now 35 years old, with an upper limit of 108. If he were in the mirror world, he would definitely break through the Qi training.

But in this world, you still have to be cautious. There are still many difficulties in breaking through the Qi training, one is the spirit stones, and the other is the environment.

Of course, if he were really in the mirror world, Xu Xuan might not be able to enjoy so many resources alone. He might have to fight with the evil forces of immortal cultivation all day long.

Soon, the true qi recovered.

Xu Xuan took back the talisman and the spirit stone, and suddenly thought of something, and conjured a pebble with almost undetectable spots on the stone.

"The phoenix blood is almost gone, why not trade it to Hong Yi?"

The phoenix stone is still useful. It can be used to make a pill after refining, which is equivalent to a bowl of rice with one mouthful left. It can be traded, and Xu Xuan doesn't need this mouthful.

"Okay."

It depends on what this kid brings in exchange. The pill made from the phoenix stone can be used even for high-level qi training, which is considered to be a mid-to-high-level material.

In the north, the capital.

The barbarians entered the pass, and the Dashun people and horses fled wildly. A bearded man rode a black-maned horse, with personal guards beside him.

Judging from his clothes, this is Li Zicheng who proclaimed himself emperor in the capital a few days ago.

"You thief, Wu Sangui! I'll fuck your mother!" Li Zicheng cursed. He didn't expect Wu Sangui to do this.

At this moment, he regretted and hated that he had conquered the capital too early and proclaimed himself emperor too early.

In the past, everyone was a brother who fought together. After becoming emperor, the brothers became monarchs and subjects. There would always be some people who were not convinced, which led to the disunity of the team.

Now that the Jin people have entered the pass, everything they have gained has been vomited out.

It would be better to stay in the Western BJ Division.

The scholars were discussing the current situation. A great scholar in blue sighed and said, "The Ming Dynasty has been in existence for 300 years. It is over. Our family must rely on a wise ruler to survive."

"What about Li Zicheng?"

"Li Zicheng is just a crude and brave man. He will never become a great man!"

"What about Zhang Xianzhong?"

"Zhang Xianzhong is cruel and inhumane. He lives in Sichuan."

In the eyes of the great scholars, the above people are just rebels who muddy the waters and pioneers who make talents stand out. Shushan's goal is to assist the hero and enter the Lingyan Pavilion.

"Xu Yong, the warlord of Huguang, has strong soldiers and horses under his command, and he has the righteousness of the court. With his assistance, the Ming Dynasty has hope of revival."

As soon as this was said, everyone objected.

"This man is tyrannical to his fellow townsmen, refuses to accept wise men, and is loyal to the old Ming. Even if he is a famous general, who is his wise ruler? His end is probably worse than Yue Fei and Yu Qian."

The ministers went to the south, and under the eyes of people like Xu Yong, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?

"The south is not a climate, and the Taiji in the north respects Confucianism, respects the wise and humbles the scholars, which is the appearance of an wise ruler. Why not follow the dragon and make merit?"

"Well, the Jin people's entry is a foregone conclusion. Why don't we carry forward the Confucian tradition, educate the barbarians, and do less killing, which can also be regarded as an achievement."

The great scholars finally found an excuse to convince themselves, and soon they began to connect with each other, intending to treat it as a Confucian feast.

When Li Jianxing and others fled to the south, the emperor Taiji also held a simple succession ceremony in the capital.

The country was named Qian, and the reign was Qianqing.

Great Qianyuan, the word Yuan was used, and the word Qian could suppress the word Yuan. In the future, it will be proved that Daqian has more than a hundred years of fortune.

Emperor Qianqing Taiji ascended the throne amidst the sound of praise.

This world is different from the plot that Xu Xuan is familiar with. Taiji died early in the previous life, but in this life, Taiji is still alive and in his prime. The Jin people do not have a young emperor, so there will be no civil strife, and their strength is several times stronger.

At the same time, Haoge led two thousand Jin cavalry and ten thousand infantry to attack cities and territories. As they went along, more and more soldiers surrendered.

While attacking cities and territories, they also had to search for the whereabouts of Chongzhen and others.

At present, the father is hesitating between several brothers and has been reluctant to appoint a prince. This time, with the merit of taking down Chongzhen, the position of the prince can be determined!

In Huaiqing Prefecture, soldiers and horses entered the city. There was a three-day robbery, and the bloody smell was everywhere.

Haoge let his horse go on the street. People on both sides knelt down and dared not look up. He enjoyed the beauty of this prosperous time.

It is said that Jiangnan is more prosperous than this place. It's a pity that this prosperity is enjoyed by the Han people alone.

One day in the future, I will definitely release the horses to the Central Plains.

He stopped in front of the official and said, "Where is Chongzhen? Where is he?"

"My king... he left the city last night."

"Pass my notice, whoever captures Chongzhen will be made a marquis! A reward of 10,000 taels of silver!"

In the wild, the group changed horses three times. Three of the twelve disciples died in battle, and everyone was in a bit of a mess.

Chongzhen had a stubble on his face, and his heart was numb. He had been rich for many years, and he had never suffered such hardship.

Of course, he didn't dare to lose his temper at this time, for fear that others would abandon him.

As for the Crown Prince, the Queen and her son, they were arranged in a simple carriage.

Because someone informed on them along the way and even wanted to arrest them, they had no choice but to take the small road as much as possible.

"We are almost there. Nanyang is ahead, and we can reach Xiangyang along the Han River." Li Jianxing said.

Rumble...

Jin scouts appeared ahead.

"You bastard, I'll be the last one, you leave first!" Zhang Duxiao was angry.

"Don't worry, wait until we meet up with the main force."

The most urgent task is to hand over the intelligence to the Heavenly Master. If we really can't get out of trouble, then we will focus on letting one person break through, even Chongzhen can be sacrificed.

Huguang.

Xu Yong dispatched troops to Xiangyang. He also received intelligence from spies. In order to prevent the Jin people from going south, Xiangyang, a majestic city, must not be lost.

News from the north came. Everyone said that Chongzhen was dead and the prince was dead.

Jinling Prefecture hurriedly established an emperor. Warlords in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi were secretly independent. Although they obeyed the court, they actually ruled their own politics.

Xu Yong, who controlled Huguang, Yunnan and Guizhou, was also another powerful faction. Before the north was recovered, the people of the Jinling small court were still calculating the distribution of power.

There were also some people who were fickle and wanted to surrender to the Jin people, or speculate on various parties to gain wealth and glory.

On the horse, Xu Yong sighed deeply and said, "People's hearts are fickle!"

Some things cannot be solved by ruthlessness alone. Some people's cognition is like that. Some people are loyal to the court, and some people are ambitious.

Don't look at his power. If the Jinling small court really gives orders, at least 30% of the officials will be undercurrents.

This is the power of justice. Whether it is true loyalty or rebellion under the pretext of justice is unknown.

Therefore, Chongzhen must be brought back, and the emperor must be used to command the princes. With the help of the emperor's name, he can conquer and stand on the commanding heights of justice!

The news from the north spread to Yuelu Mountain like snowflakes.

The tragic situation described above is outrageous, and the spies have used subjective words such as "cruel", "horrible", and "heartbreaking" to describe it.

At the same time, the intelligence of Li Jianxing and others finally came.

Taiji's eldest son Haoge is leading the army to chase them.

In Wangxiang Tower, Xu Xuan closed the letter, his eyes burning, flashing a dangerous light.

"The eldest prince of the Jin people?... Haha, I will go out in person this time!"
